Introduction to Digital Photography week 5

Back at college after missing a week. We started the session with a little show and tell. I showed some of my environmental alphabet (I'll add these later) and also some portrait shots I had done as well. The feedback that I got from Ian was that I was a "centre" photographer. Meaning that all of the pictures that I had tended to have the subject in the centre of the shot. He said that it may have a greater impact if I move the subject out of the centre a little.

I am therefore going to set myself a project to do some photography over the next week where I intentionally place my subject(s) outside the centre of the shot. Lets see how it works. I'll put these on for next week.

We don't have another class for three weeks now, but I will endeavour to give myself mini projects over the weeks and put up a blog entry as well.

I am awaiting delivery of my new flash gun from Hong Kong. When this comes I will be doing some flash photography to see how the gun works both directly and bounced off objects.

I will put up examples of these pictures on here each week with a little bit about how things went.

Here are the pictures that I brought this week
